In this episode, we examine the mechanisms behind gesture control technology, a Human Machine Interface that enables device interaction through body movements without physical contact. We discuss various detection methods, including wearables equipped with motion sensors, camera-based systems utilizing 2D and 3D imaging, infrared sensors that capture thermal radiation, and radar technology capable of detecting minute movements. Each approach offers unique advantages and challenges, contributing to the expanding role of gesture control across industries such as gaming, automotive, and healthcare.

Join us as we explore how these technologies interpret human gestures, enhancing the way we interact with machines in an increasingly touchless world.
